Check it out! See ya! M.B."
August 1, 2011 "My article about Queen (dedicated to their 40th anniversary) was published in ROCKCOR in the August issue. And my article about X Japan will be published in the September issue.Sadly, on 17. July 2011, Taiji Sawada (1966-2011) died, aged just 45. I love all X Japan members, but he was one of my special heroes. Not only because he also played bass. I loved his tasteful bass & guitar playing, his songwriting, his image and his wonderful paintings. I hope there will be a Taiji exhibition sometime soon! Taiji ever free, heroes never die! R.I.H.! (Rock In Heaven!) Stay tuned for Mirror and Solowshow* news sometime soon... and stay alive! - CU - Mike"

| December 14, 2004 Mirrors live gig in Kulturforum on 10th December was recorded on video by 3 cameras for possible inclusion of some songs onto the upcoming "Shocking Videbut" DVD in 2005. However, the concert kicked off with a spontaneus short rendition of Panteras "Walk" as a tribute to Dimebag Darrel (guitarist of Pantera and Damageplan) who was tragically killed by a shooter at a Damageplan on 8th December in Ohio. Official statement from Mike Breeze: "I did not want to write anything on this topic, because almost every rock musician in the world commented on it already, much better than I can, but then I realised that it is my duty not to remain silent on this tragedy. Dimebag was a cheerful positive guy and one of the most influential guitarists in the world. His death hit me really hard as if I was a member of his family. In fact, I was, in some way, as a Pantera and Damageplan fan. Ramin was also shocked and upset by this awful event. Our love goes to Dimebag as well as Vinnie and the rest of Dimes family and friends. Dime, we will never forget You! Keep on rocking with Freddie, hide, Bonham, Lennon and the rest of the heavens crew! Dimebag - rest in peace! -Mike" |
